Giant slalom

Ready. Set. Go! And off you charge full throttle down the slopes. These GS skis are brimming with race DNA. They demand to be handled powerfully, dynamically, and with flawless technique on the edge, in long turns downhill. And they deliver nothing short of superlatives. May we introduce them? Twelve fabulous full-throttle machines, set apart only by the finest of details.

The speed machine for experts

This model sits just below uncompromising World Cup skis, which only professionals can master.
Built for speed lovers, who thunder down the slopes and need to rely on total control,
it combines power and precision with a slightly shorter turning radius for more accessibility.
The RS ski is smoother than a Slalom ski but no less demanding – strength, stamina and control are essential.

Strengths

  • Designed for medium and long carved turns.
  • Superb stability, edge grip and raw power.
  • Highly athletic, built for high-speed skiing.
  • Best on hard, icy slopes.

Weaknesses

  • Controlling it requires plenty of strength and technique.
  • Not recommended for relaxed cruising or off-piste outings.
  • Short carved turns demand big effort.

Recommended Length: Ambitious, technically skilled skiers: around 180 cm. Lighter, hobby racers: 5–10 cm shorter. The shorter an RS model, the more versatile and less radical it becomes!
